Be it known that I, LEONARD A. EMERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented certain nevr and. usei'ul Improvements in Shade-Roller Hangers and Curtain-Supports; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to' simple and eficient means whereby the brackets which support the shade-rollers may be quickly and firmly attached to any Window without regard to the Width the1eof,enabiing the rollers to be mounted so that the shades will hang free of the AWindow and the rollers will not interfere with the movement of thesash, at lthe same time affording means for supporting a lace curtain in any suitable manner.

The above object is attained by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-l Figure 1 is a perspective view-of the upper portion of a Window, showing the application Fig. 2 is a longitudinal` section through the telescopic sup port upon which the curtain may be hung.

Referring to the characters of reference, 1

designates socket-plates in which the ends ofthe hangen,1 are secured so as to maintain them rigidiyftherein.- The hanger, as herein shown, comprises .the curved. end pieces 2, which enter the socket-plates'and which project outwardlya suitable' distance and thence across the Window, their outer portions 3 ein tending horizontallyin a piane parallel tothe face of the window and entering the sleeve e, in which they are adapted to slide or ielescope. v

Fast to the end portions of the hanger are the depending brackets 5, those at one end having a round aperture 6 for the journal of the roller and those at the oppositeend having a diagonal slot whioh receives the lat spring-actuated shaft E the roller, will be Well understood in the art.

There are herein illustrated two shade'- rollers, one designated hysolid lines 8 and the other oy stipple lines 9. It is evident, however, that but one shade need be nsed,if so desired.

This manner of mounting the shade-rollers in the brackets depending from the hanger places said rollers free of each other and hefore the Window in a manner to 'insure their perfect operation. By reason ofthe fact that the'ends 3 of the hanger telescopewithin the sleeve 4 said hanger is made extensible, so as to accommodate any width of Window, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. l, enabling the hanger to be readily adjusted to any size of window and quickly secured in piaee. The shape of the outafardiyprojeeting cortion of the hanger is suoli as to enable to readily support a lace curtain or other raping and in a manner ef'eod i" 'an the Window, so as io prednee f s et.

The manne, of" n" t..e hangers veryeinr AC th to secure the og, of the casing, as "i at once provided ie curtain.
